Was that a horrible Top Gun reference, or does it make fun of the fact that we spend hundreds of billions on war “toys” that never see the battle field.
I am ALL FOR making sure any US solider has a freakin Kevlar body suit and a Tony Stark / Iron Man type set up to preserve life, when we MUST go kill bad people, but the F-22 raptor reminds me of the old “New Deal” saying -
“Let’s employ Americans to dig a hole, and when they are done, let’s pay them to fill it back up”
That’s genius!!!!
The F-22 Raptor is the most expensive fighter jet ever built. It was designed to fight advanced Soviet planes, but President Obama has said he wants to cut “cold war weapons systems.” Cutting the F-22 would save lots of money, but it would cost thousands of jobs. The Air Force is expected to ask the White House to sign off on 60 more planes over the next three years.
